I need help! I’ve been in a tea rut and I need to order some new tea. Any suggestions? I’ve been so busy with life that I’ve been neglecting my tea stash and now I hardly have any loose leaf tea anymore. I stopped in Whole Foods yesterday hoping that they would have some but no such luck.

My best advice for a tea rut…is to SPOIL yourself. I indulge in ordering DAVIDs dessert teas or I spend time exploring the highest rated dessert teas on here and just go ahead and treat myself. Or a swap!! That will get you moving again!!

LOL you have a couple of teas from Whispering Pines on your shopping list. I’ve never ordered from them, but was looking at their site last night, and have also put some on my want list. That could be a fun place to start. As Hallieod mentioned, New Mexico Tea also has an extensive list of what I think look like fun tea. If you are looking for more straight teas, you can’t go wrong with Verdant. Hope you find something you like.

You guys are brilliant, I have completely forgotten about the shopping list! The last Sleeping Bear blend that I bought lost its flavor quite quickly. I also bought 4 oz of the Blackmint Blend and after only a few weeks in my cupboard, the flavor was almost completely gone.

As well as what’s been suggested, Pure Aroma Teas is having a sale of 25% off all black teas for the next few days. I’ve really liked all the black teas I’ve tried from them so far and their shipping is very reasonable. http://purearomatea.com/2-special-offers

Also, a new friend on the Tea Buying Hiatus Support Group (ah, the irony) added a few teas from the New Mexico Tea Co that sounded really good and now I want ALL the teas from there (in ALL the TINS). http://www.nmteaco.com/
